Death Of Rev. J. G. Myers.

Rev. JOS. G.. Myers died at his
home in this place Saturday even
ing, Oct. Sth, at half past two o'clock.
He was born in Mercer county, Pa,
Jan. 10th, 1919. He had been a min
lister of the Gospel, in the Methodist
church, for more than forty years, be-
ginning his labors as a missionary
among the Indians. For the last
few years of his life he had been on
the superanuated list, his health be-
ing too feeble to admit of his taking
regular pastoral charge of church.
But he still continued to preach and
assist in revival meetings whenever
his physical strength was sufficient.
He had been instrumental in leading
many hundreds and thousands into
the way of righteousness, and his
memory will long be cherished by
scores of good people all over this
section of the State who knew and
loved him. Cce aIG I'Go3 wG
Funeral services were held at the
Methodist church at three O'Clock
Sunday afternoon, and his remains
were followed to the grave by long
procession Of friends. He was faith
full to his duty in life, and has gone
to the reward which awaits the SER
wants of God. E

THE WARREN HOUSE.
This Popular Hotel has a New
Landlord.

Owing to failing health Mr.. c.
McClarty has determined to give up
the Warren House, and consequently
he made a sale of the furniture to Mr..
r. II. Mason on Wednesday night,
and the latter gentleman takes charge
today. All of Mr.. Mason's boarders,
some twenty-five or thirty in num-
ber, will 60 with him to the Warren
House, and viii I'LL the place with
new life and energy.
Mr.. Mason was the first proprietor
of the Warren House after it was re-
built, about fifteen years ago, and he
gave it a fame and popularity second
to no other hotel in the State. There
is a confident feeling in the commu-
nifty that he will bring back to it all
OF its old time glory and prestige.
Every citizen of McMsnnville feels
deep interest in the success and popu-
larity of the Warren House. A good
hotel is an item of considerable i'm
portance to any town, and particular
ly is this true of McMinnville. The
Warren House has been one of the
most popular hotels in the State in
the past. 1t can be made such again
and we believe Mr.. Mason will do it.

POLO MATTERS
What is Being Done in the Connecticut
 Division.

Division.
 The directors of the New Haven polo team did not hold meeting last night as had been announced. One will be held in few days, however.
 The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Hartford Amusement company was held last night. The directors of the company had offered a sum, less than 2,20O, to Messrs. Clough & Rodgers for their Hartford fran chise. Mir. Clough will manage the team, in all probability. It is said that the cost of building the simplest kind of rink in that city suitable to polo purposes will be S7, ,0o0. Add to his the cost of the franchise and it does not seem possible for anyone to make money the first season.
 J. Porter will be the manager of the Water bury team. He is on the lookout for play CTS and expects to have strong team. As the date for the opening of the season has been decided on, the changes that are to take place in the Meriden rink will be begun immediately. A large gallery will be put in and other features added. One that will prove of great interest will be the music this year. In place of the brass band of former seasons, Roosa 6 Flynns orchestra will, | each night before the games, give concert ! in which popular airs and selections from operas will be rendered. There will be two ! of them each night, one preceding the Shop Polo league games and one before the big game. with selections during the waits. This season the cities in the league will
 have better rinks than last season, and this, with the changes in the rules, will make | polo of higher order than heretofore. The Meriden Journal says that the New Haven rink will nearly equal Meriden's when com | pleted. Bridgeport will play in the old Gem
 rink, which has good surface and which Is being moved down to the lot adjoining the | army on Main street. Hartford will have a
 new rink, and, naturally, surface different I from that at the armory, which was the bane I of every team of the league in former sea- | sons. Waterbury has bang-up surface, 100 ! by 50 feet.
 Croley has been signed as substitute goal tender by the Meridens, and will play there, reports to the contrary notwithstanding.

Orange Growers in Session.

A number of gentlemen of this section who
 are owners of orange groves in Florida met
 on Monday evening at the residence of MT.
 S.J. Hoggson, 126 York street, to investigate
 a matter not only of importance to them
 selves, but also to the entire State of Florida.
 The object of the meeting was to discuss the
 feasibility of preserving the orange as to
 extend the marketing season of the fruit and
 to indulge in testing oranges of last years
 growth preserved by a process invented by Mr. Hoggson, package of which was opened for the occasion, and all present were highly gratifed to find that the fruit opened up in excellent condition, only one orange rejected l and that showing signs of frost, which evil dently occurred before preserr ation, as the oranges were bought here and treated early in April.
 The oranges were juicy, sweet and free from any signs of treatment either in appear | ance, smell or flavor, and it was the expressed opinion of all present that the process was so far complete success and would yet without doubt be highly productive of great results to l the orange growers of Florida.
 MT. Hoggson holds some in reserve which, ! if convenient, he intends to have sampled at l the Sub-tropical in Florida this winter, al- | though 1t was freely conceded by the gentle WeA present. tnaG when oranges are helo goOO | until the old crop laps the new the desired marketing field is fully covered, ,as was shown at the meeting by oranges of 1886 and of 1887 nestling side by side in the same dish. Capital without stint has been offered to ] prosecute the business, but MT. Hoggson says | that his experiments on the orange were com ! menced as a source of pleasure; that he has ! now accomplished all he at first intended, and before going further he would like to know | more about the different varieties of the or ange, and also at what time it is best to treat | the fruit, whether when fresh from the tree
 or when it has passed the sweating process | information which he hopes to gain from ex- periments this coming season.
 Indian River, Apopka, Citra, Palatka, Waldo and other sections of Florida were ! ably represented at the meeting, which was | very pleasant and interesting. Congratula-
 tions to MT. Hoggson were freely offered on | his success.
